Default boost ref fuel system

i have run several carb'ed prochargers, and always boost ref'ed the reg as required-i will be running FI on the new setup, and was wondering how you are boost ref. the FI setups-if your running an external reg. then i guess you can run a boost line from the intake area to the reg if it has a provision for it-what about a stock type car, where the reg is built into the pump? is the int.
high pres enough to feed over the boost? as the boost would go up, w/o boost ref., seems the injector flow would be fighting against the boost-did a search, didnt really find an answer-thanks

If we are pushing past 600 rwhp we swap out the complete fuel system to one with larger fuel lines with a return line, and we use a boost referenced regulator. Check out my car here where we ran a whole new fuel system. I have quite a few pictures of it.
